Medical Superintendent of Lahore General Hospital Dr Faryad Hussain said on Tuesday that the news circulating in the media and on social platforms claiming that the hospital administration is not providing medical facilities to patients and referring plastic surgery cases to Jinnah Hospital is completely false and baseless.

He said, "Plastic Surgery department of the hospital comprises 20 beds and outpatient services are being provided two days a week. Around 150 patients are examined during each outpatient session, while patients are also being admitted and provided surgical facilities according to their medical needs."

The Medical Superintendent said all available resources at General Hospital are being utilized round the clock for the welfare of patients and provision of the best healthcare facilities. He added that providing quality medical treatment and better healthcare services to patients remains the hospital’s top priority, while all departments are performing their duties with professional commitment.
